Johann Andreas Schnabl (born Jan Sznabla, 1838 – 1912) was born a Pole of German descent, and was an entomologist specializing in Diptera. His family moved from Dresden to Warsaw in the late 18th century, hence the German heritage.[citation needed]
Trained as a physician, he taught classes in natural history in Warsaw. His wide-ranging travels included scientific trips to the Caucasus, the Urals, Lapland, the Pyrenees, Corsica, Hungary and Peru.[1]
